South Carolina's Industrial Timber Products Output, 1977-1981

摘要

Around 446.5 million cubic feet of industrial roundwood products were harvested from South Carolina's forests during 1981. Total industrial product output amounted to 506.9 million cubic feet, 5 percent less than in 1977. Between 1977 and 1981, pulpwood accounted for an average of 55 percent of the State's industrial product output, saw logs another 33 percent, and veneer logs another 9 percent. Industrial byproduct output declined from 83.6 million cubic feet to 60.4 million cubic feet. During the same time, the volume of plant residues used as fuel and for nonindustrial timber products rose from 61.4 million cubic feet to 72.2 million cubic feet. South Carolina's industrial roundwood output of 446.5 million cubic feet in 1981 exceeded receipts by 40 million cubic feet, making the State a net exporter of industrial roundwood. In 1981, exports exceeded imports by 82 percent. A total of 152 primary woodusing plants operated in South Carolina in 1981, only 2 less than in 1977.
